The ASHRAE book, Ground Source Heat Pumps: Design of Geothermal Systems for Commercial and Institutional Buildings, was published in 1997. Much has changed since 1997. ASHRAE Research Project 1674, Research to Support the Revision to Ground Source Heat Pumps: Design of Geothermal Systems for Commercial and Institutional Buildings, provided new information not previously available to designers. Two new chapters include: a hydro-geological primer and overview of drilling methods; and a summary of recent field studies and listing of notable installations. New appendices cover topics of well testing, analysis, performance, drilling methods and problems. The authors present overview of the updated book and include example design procedures and demonstrations of spreadsheet software included with the book purchase.
